Visiting Shlifa in Bekaa Valley

The name Shlifa is traced back to the Syriac word meaning “waterfalls,” in reference to the famous waterfall in the town. There are both Hellenistic and Roman sites to be visited in Shlifa. Particularly interesting are the Castle of Bint Al-Malak (“king’s daughter”) and the historical Church of Saydet Al-Bechara (“Our lady of good omens”).
